I'm calling this the "Oscar Wilde," due to the old-fashioned foppy, floppy wide-brimmed top hat, ostrich feather, cameo ring, spectator shoes and somewhat nouveau print on the (Kate donated) tunic. 

The outfit does, however, lose some of its "Wildeness" (if you will) when I am not carrying an old fashioned black umbrella as a jaunty cane, as I was when walking Elmwood Avenue today.

Martini date at Cecelia's with two wonderful friends. Got loads of compliments on the tights. 

Tights- H&M 

Leather slingback sandals- 2nd Chic

Tee shirt Dress- American Apparel

Yellow Blazer- estate sale

Listening to: Wisp, NRTHNDR

 

bags are packed (as you can see) and travelin' clothes are on- it's off to Brooklyn tonight!
Bought these men's Lee jeans yesterday from the thrift store and proceeded happily to distress them.

I'm using a long ropey gold chain necklace as a bracelet. The blazer is thrifted and modified- I swapped the original buttons for genuine brass military buttons. The silk scarf is also a fun thrifted find!

Listening to: The National's new album, High Violet

So this was how I started my day- thrifted linen blazer, f21 tank, uniqlo jean shorts and the best boots ever.

Ultra bling ring (total score @ the Broadway Market)

I removed the original buttons from this blazer and sewed on mismatched ones from a lot of brass military buttons i bought from Ebay.

This feather headband was made by me.

 

Now I'm biking over to Amy's so I figured I should throw on jeans. f21 skinnies.

Second Chic officially opened for business today... I wanted to put together something springy... it ended up being about 12º outside. Thankfully I had this red trench (Esprit) and red cardi from the Kate P pile... as well as a thrfited belt to cinch it up. The navy & white sailor striped knit skirt is from Forever 21, and the opaque navy tights I stole from my mom.

Saturday morning errands to run... the bank and what I am now referring to as "Little China Town," where I plan to purchase some sunglasses, possibly an umbrella and some cheap-o cocktail rings. I'm so very excited! Also today is a clothing drive at Second Chic, a new consignment store opening in Buffalo. I combed my wardrobe and unfortunately have nothing they're looking for but I will stop by nonetheless to say "Hi!" to lovely ladies. After that it's off to school to work in the Fibers studio.

I will be doing a lot of fabric dying in the studio, hence my "painting pants"- a beat pair of Uniqlo skinnies. I like to cuff 'em. I'm also rocking the deck shoes that got me through Europe last summer. So comfy. The black wool beret is a thrifted find, as is the magnificent buffalo plaid blazer. The hoodie and tee are both American Apparel. I have since decided I can't afford that company (also the head honcho is a skeezball. Not like that is news or anything.)

Getting very excited to go out in that sunshine again today! I think it's going to be chilly but I'll deal.

Realized I needed a bag and decided this knockoff LeSportSac bought for twenty euros in Madrid would do- big enough to hold my camera and a chunk of muslin for the studio. The zipper's broken. LeSigh.
